License Plate Holder

A beautiful and light weight designer part to replace the large and bulky original. The new K models are fast and "extreme" machines, the bulky looking and heavy original part does not fit very well with the overall design. Our part was designed to look and actually be lighter than the original, as well as to be as versatile and adaptable as possible. We have used the hole pattern of the original plate carrier, so in most cases no additional holes will need to be drilled (may differ in some countries due to different plate sizes). The carrier plate is hinged and adjustable so a suitable position can be chosen*. The carrier is made of laser cut and silver anodized aluminum. The original indicators as well as our LED indicators can be used. Treat yourself and your bike with this upgrade!

Note: In some countries the number plate needs to set at a specific angle, make sure to find out what the legal requirement for your country is when choosing the position.

This part was designed for European license plates. For US and Canadian Plates, we suggest also ordering our license plate adapter. Please see below.

We also offer some very cool license plate mounting hardware. See The Related Products .

Customer Reviews

Since its the only option for us K12/K13 riders, I would have to say that it deserves at least 4 stars. With that being said, the instructions are a bit lacking. Also, I would like to add that if you have a remote License Plate Light (USA BIKES), it would be nice if they supplied you with a mount. Luckily, I already had the one made by BEECH, and that bolted very nicely to the Wunderlich kit. If you don't have one and you are thinking of this kit (and you have the USA remote tail lamp light), do yourself a favor and buy this plate from Beech:

It bolts right up and give you a perfect complete set up. It would be nice if Wunderlich added this to the BOM for USA customers.

Definite improvement

The license plate holder is a nice improvement over the massive fender and plate holder that was stock on my K12R Sport. The instructions for install were a bit hard to understand but that was mostly because the pictures didn't match my bike's layout 100 %. Also needed to order some LED license plate bolt lights as this product offers no mounting for a light for the plate. Overall nice construction quality and design otherwise.

A must have

The piece makes a huge visual difference and is well engineered. The instructions ,as most from Wunderlich, are lacking but the install is easily done in minimal time.
I had one on my k1200s and just purchased another for my new K 1300s

Good high quality part. Instructions were somewhat lacking as other reviewers said. When I ran into an issue, called tech support, and got a call right back. Thumbs up to William at support. No mount for the plate light which was a big problem.

Nicely engineered

The kit is very good quality and engineered well. The instructions were a little lacking, though. The price is really inflated, just like anything for BMW.

A good addition!

This is a good kit. Comes with all the necessary hardware, but I reused mostly the stock bolts (so I don't have to carry extra tools). The instructional photos were a little hard to view, but otherwise it was a quick install.
A final note is to find something to do with the plate lamp (plate illumination light). There is no mount for it on the new bracket, so I just tucked it into the tail void and zip-tied it to a wire to avoid damaging the bulb.
